Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 219 Do things fairly

At nightfall, Liu Man'er coaxed the children, and saw that they both made a slight noise, so she tiptoed up from the bed.

If it was in the past, she would definitely not care about this matter anymore, anyway, they have already suffered a loss, so let it be.

But it's different now, how can she solve the hatred in her heart just by playing tricks?She hasn't done anything yet, not to mention, it's too unfair to just let shopkeeper Mo suffer. The instigator, President Chen, is still out of it.

Liu Man'er felt that she wanted to be fair, so she decided to take action at night to fight fire with fire.

After changing into the night clothes, Liu Man'er beckoned, and Shuai Shuai jumped off the roof beam. He scratched his ears, squeaked twice, and looked at Liu Man'er puzzled.

"Let's go, I'll take you to play." Liu Man'er touched Shuai Shuai's head, and the two of them went downstairs softly, and slipped out of the yard quietly.

The night was as cool as water, with only a bright moon hanging high in the sky, like a bright mirror, the cool brilliance shone on Liu Man'er's body, as if it wanted to shine into her heart all the time.

Feeling a gust of cold wind blowing, Liu Man'er tightened her clothes. She was not very courageous. In the past, she never went out at night, let alone walking on the street alone in the middle of the night, under the moonlight. , the shadowy shadows all around make people inexplicably terrified.

"Squeak." Liu Man'er raised her head, and saw Shuai Shuai jumping up and down the surrounding walls, looking very excited.

Dodging some patrolling officials and another watchman, Liu Man'er continued to walk forward, the moonlight slowly hid in the clouds at some point, the people were already asleep, and the two lights hanging on the surrounding shopfronts followed the wind Floating and swaying always makes people feel a little weird.

The moon is dark and the wind is high at night, killing people and setting fires.

Liu Man'er walked for less than half an hour, wearing stars and moons all the way. In the dim light, the two big characters of Chen Fu finally appeared in front of her eyes. She walked around the wall, and in the faint moonlight, the two unpainted wooden doors looked strange. obsolete.

This should be the back door of the Chen residence.

"Shuaishai, it's up to you." Liu Man'er patted Shuai Shuai's head, and Shuai Shuai jumped in with ease. After a while, there was another rustling sound, and there was only a creaking sound. Liu Man'er pushed the door open, Dodged into the house.

She has never been to President Chen's house, but she is not afraid. Today, she studied the structure of the courtyards at that time, and learned that the structures of courtyards of different specifications in Liyang City are mostly similar.

This President Chen’s house also entered the courtyard three times, but it’s just that there are two more small courtyards than Liu Man’er’s. I heard that the two concubines of President Chen lived in these two small courtyards. went forward.

The more scared she is, the faster her heart will beat. Liu Man'er is usually harmless, but now that she has decided to do it, she will put aside all distracting thoughts and do her best.

Maybe she is more suitable for this job, because of her sensitive ears, she can hear some subtle sounds in the silence, and she is not afraid of being discovered by others. At this moment, she only thinks this is her own home, and she is here ostentatiously. Walking in the courtyard is like watching the scenery in her own courtyard.

Shuai Shuai also tiptoed behind Liu Man'er, looking up at Liu Man'er from time to time, not knowing what she wanted to do.

"Okay, be good, wait until you get home after finishing your work, and I will reward you with a big chicken leg tomorrow." Liu Man'er took Shuai Shuai's foreleg, and took it two steps forward like a human being, without taking two steps , Shuai Shuai felt tired, and still walked forward on all fours.

After searching around in the backyard, but found nothing, Liu Man'er walked along the Chaoshou corridor, and soon came to the Chuihua Gate.

Lu Chi, Lu Chi, they all followed the route in their minds, but they still went wrong.

Complaining to herself, Liu Man'er took down a lantern from the hanging flower gate, held it in her hand, turned it back, wandered around, and finally found the side gate.

Spring is a season of continuous rain. Even though it has been sunny these days, the land has already been soaked by the spring rain. When it is pressed by a heavy vehicle, it will be covered with ruts.

There are deep and shallow, new and old.

Liu Man'er lowered her head, lowered the lantern a little, walked along the deeper ruts, and soon came to a wing, in front of the wing, the horseshoes were messy.

Arriving here, Liu Man'er was almost certain that President Chen must have hidden those books here. However, with the incident that shopkeeper Mo's shop was burned during the day, President Chen must have been prepared.

There was a faint light in the wing room, and after a while, there was a slight sound of footsteps, Liu Man'er hurriedly led Shuai Shuai to hide behind the side of the room, not long after, a hazy figure approached from near to far , maybe he just went there for convenience, it was late at night, he yawned and entered the house.

"Oh, this owner is really real, isn't it just some books, who would come to make a fuss about it." The man entered the room and complained to the people inside.

"Stop saying a few words, be careful when sailing for thousands of years, and cheer up."

"Well, fortunately, someone will come to pick up these books tomorrow. Otherwise, no one will be allowed to rest during the day, and no one will be allowed to sleep at night to take care of these books. Who can bear it."

"Okay, don't complain, why don't you read the book first? I think the writing is pretty good."

"I don't know how long this book has been out, I've read it a long time ago."

"Well, if you don't look at me, it's a long night, so it's good to pass the time."

The room fell into silence for a moment, however, not long after, there was a knock on the door. The two guards suddenly heard the knock, and their hairs stood on end. When they listened, it was not a hallucination. He shouted, "Who is it!"

No one paid any attention to him, and the knocking on the door continued.

"I'll go take a look." One of them stood up and opened the door, but there was no one outside.

"Damn it!" the man muttered, and the other said, "Well, maybe it's the wind."

However, as soon as his words fell, the knock on the door rang again. The two of them couldn't sit still anymore. They looked at each other and walked cautiously to the door...

One held a stick, and the other slammed the door. However, there was still no one outside the door. With a lantern on, he poked his head out and looked around. The corridor was empty and there was no one there. The two couldn't help shivering. The hairs on his body stood up.

"Is it really a ghost?" The speaker's voice was visibly trembling, not as energetic as before.

"Whatever it is, just close the door." One person said and beckoned the other to come in, and closed the door.

However, before the two of them had time to turn around, the knock on the door sounded again.

"I don't care if you're a human or a ghost. Am I still afraid that you won't succeed!" This guy was very courageous, and he got really angry at this moment. He opened the door, walked out, and shouted: "Come on, come out if you have the ability!" , It is said that people are three-thirds afraid of ghosts, and ghosts are seven-tenths of people, so grandpa is still afraid of you, a little ghost!"

This guy spoke majesticly and quite proudly, but when a hand hit him on the shoulder from behind, his whole body still trembled and he even forgot to move.

"Okay, don't be angry, no matter what it is, let's go back, and just don't open the door later."

Hearing another guy's voice, this guy breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and said, "Brother, you know that people are scary and scary to death?"

He just turned his head to talk to the old man, but he heard a click, and the door behind him automatically closed.

Both of them had expressions of astonishment on their faces, what's going on.

They went forward to push the door at the same time, however, the latches were all closed.

The two were trembling all over, unable to figure out what was going on, but they were just frozen in place, with cold sweat dripping down their backs.

But it said that in this warehouse, a small body walked back and forth, dumped the lamps lit by two guards into the books, and then got out from the back window.

"Handsome, well done." Liu Man'er patted it on the head, praised it in a low voice, threw the lantern in her hand into it, and the two of them slipped away quietly to the back door.

Hearing the sound inside and seeing the fire in the room, the two people didn't react at first, but after a while, the fire became bigger and bigger, and then the two people reacted, moved their bodies, and shouted in unison: " It's on fire!"

The two tried their best to hit the door with their bodies, but it was a pity that the latch was tightly closed, and it was not so easy to smash it open for a while.

The two could only bump into each other, shouting at the top of their lungs: "It's on fire! It's on fire!"

While shouting, someone finally woke up, and the two of them finally knocked open the door. However, at this moment, the fire inside the house was already quite large, and it was impossible to extinguish it with hands.

This wing room was some distance away from the well, and the two of them ran towards the well in the backyard while yelling for fire, the more anxious they became, the more fussy they became, carrying wooden basins, fetching water, and buckets.

The people who were awakened came to help with all their hands and feet. The strength of the crowd was infinite. However, this well only had one mouth. No matter how urgent it was, it could only bring up buckets of water.

The drum of this well turned faster than ever before, and buckets of water were pumped up and rushed to the burning place. Finally, the fire was extinguished.

Only then did everyone feel relieved, and a happy expression appeared on their faces.

"Fortunately, no other places were burned." Jia Dingjia said.

"Yeah, fortunately we discovered it early." Jia Ding Yi said.

Only the two unlucky ghosts guarding the temporary warehouse knew how unlucky they were, so they lowered their heads and did not speak.

A sound of heavy footsteps came from behind, and everyone fell silent. President Chen's footsteps were messy at the moment, and his expression was flustered. He couldn't walk as calmly and leisurely as he used to walk with his figure-of-eight steps.

When he rushed into the warehouse, seeing the mess all over the floor, his blood rushed straight to his head, and he leaned over. If the servant behind him hadn't supported him with quick eyes and hands, he would definitely have fallen down.
